Clear and detailed explanation of the problems associated with the crowded conditions for animals raised for human consumption, including use of antibiotics that are then less likely to be useful against human infections. Ends with recommendations that make this somewhat an opinion piece.

Long enough to be quite thorough and detailed. Well written and readable, with references to other materials and action steps.

Everything in this story has been known for years; this is a very good summary. Maybe it doesn't dwell enough on the politics - why FDA and Congress cave in to Agribusiness, for example. It also doesn't go into the impact on water supply - the waste from these animals eventually reaches rivers and oceans, and the water used to irrigate vegetables!.

A very well written, in-depth article illuminating a subject that deserves much more attention. The suggestions on "What You Can Do" are great, but make me wonder: is it really beneficial to substitute dairy products for meat? Aren't they having similar problems in that industry as well?

Great piece of work. The research that makes up this piece is really great, there is a lot of really good information within the article. I feel like the overall presentation of the information was very good, linking to sources all through the article. Although it was long, I had no problem reading through the whole thing, very interesting.
